Perfect Close Grip Push-Up Technique
The close grip push-up is a challenging variation that primarily targets the triceps while engaging the chest and shoulders. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures every rep builds maximum results with perfect form.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Setup: Place hands close together, forming diamond shape with thumbs and index fingers
- Position: Maintain straight line from head to heels, core engaged
- Descent: Lower chest toward hands, keeping elbows close to body
- Push: Drive through palms to return to starting position
- Control: Maintain rigid body alignment throughout movement
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Placing hands too far apart (reduces tricep focus)
- Allowing elbows to flare out excessively
- Sagging hips or arching back
- Not achieving full range of motion
